etc., held by them; now let all our friends,
neighbors and relatives make good return

this year the management is determined to do
all they possibly can to make it success, and
trust to have good weather. Already the

Interesting prohibition meetings were held

also good and added much to the pleasure of
the audience.
Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin Co. showed
here last Wednesday evening and drew full
house, and the "chestnut" for once proved
good. The troupe is an unusually good one,
and gave satisfaction even in the rendering
of poor, time worn "Uncle Toms Cabin"

THERE is one exceptionally good man
upon the so-caIled prohibition ticket in
this county. We refer to Jacob Maule.
Because he is such an excellent and Ca
pable man, no doubt very many Repub-
licans look with favor upon his candida
cy, and many will feel disposed to vote
for him. If Mr.. Maule could be elected,
there might be some method in such
Republicans voting for him; but when
such scratching can have no other re-
suit than the election of Dave Waggener
or some man like him, its wisdom is not
So apparent.
Either Poorman and MeKelvey, or the
men to be named by the Democratic
convention. will represent Belmont coun-
ty 10 the Ohio House of Representatives
next year. There is no more probabili-
ty of Jacob Maule being one of our Rep
resentatives than there is of Abraham
Lincoln or George Washington.
Poorman and McKelvey can be de-
pended upon to stand by the Dow liquor
tax law, the best enactment possible un-
der our absurd Constitution. Dave
Waggener and men like him can be de
pended upon to repeal or cripple it, and
otherwise aid the liquor traffic.
Voters of the county should think
carefully and prayerfully before they
assist iu the accomplishment of such a
result, even indirectly.

JOSH BILLINGS BEGINNING.
His Interview with Artemus Ward-l
Handsome Income in Due Time.

His Interview with Artemus Ward-A
Handsome Income in Due Time.
A more thrifty person was Josh Billings
He was an auctioneer in the country parts Of
New York state, who had tried all sorts OF
things and continued to be poor. He thought
he said humorous things and wise ones too,
but somehow nobody else could see them,
Observing ArtemuS Ward to miSspeu all
his humorous articles, Josh Billings undertook
the same with one of his. Immediately it took
wings and began to fly over the land. He
recognized the fact that man must have no
spell in this country and act under its infiu-
ence, but that he can have misspell and grow
well off.
Now, Josh Billings was really a somewhat
profound person with good deal Of Benjamin
Franklin's happy faculty Of saying wise
thing in quaint way. But they would not
pass unless they were misspelled. There was
no sense whatever in his misspelling of them.
They were not misspelled in either the negro,
the Irish or Yankee dialect; it was nothing
but arbitrary misspelling without any
method.
When he obtained some currency he came
down to New York city to see the other
humorists and see if they would not take him
into their guild. Artemus Ward received
him after his lecture with profuse compli-
ments and made an appointment with him at
booksellers Josh waited there two or three
hours, until he felt that he might be kicked
out and came away and saw Artemus Ward
no more.
1t was the same with all the rest of them;
they were poor scratchers for livelihood,
getting grins out of men instead of guineas.
So Josh Billings resolved to capitalize his
humor in the best way he could. He sold
himself to astory paper at so much week,
prepared an almanac once year and lectured
whenever he could get a chance. In that
way he rolled up an income of perhaps s., zoo
ayear, and saved it and handed it over to his
wife and family.
saw him towards the last Of his days ap-
pearing in the New York hotels, rather
lonely man whom hard work had somewhat
deprived of his power to be quaint and origi-
nal He said to me that he wished he had
kept the funny papers he had written in his
youth and got nothing for them Said he:
Every one of them is worth 500 nov, but l
can't make them as could then"
This man, under better organizee society,
would have been taken out OF the mare circus
business of life and put to use sad have given
more pleasure; and his collected wGrks would
have some unity about them.-George Alfred
Townsend

PROF. LolsETTE's MEMORY PLANS. =
Prof. Loisette, the famous memory i'm
proven, has now returned from his lee
turing tour during the heated term to his
offices, No 237 Fifth Avenue, where he
will remain to attend to his correspond
ence pupils. During this his holiday he
has lectured to large classes at Watch
Hill, Saratoga and elsewhere, winding
up with three large classes at Chautau>
qua. We cannot imagine how a system
of memory training could be more
strongly endorsed than Prof. Loisette's
has been by such men as Mr.. Richard
e.. Proctor. Hon. w. w. Astor. Judah 2.
Benjamin, Doctors Brown aud Minor,
&c. If more could be added 1t has been
afforded in the fact of the patronage of
his system by 100 Columbia College law
students, two classes of 300 each at Y ale
400 at Wellesley College, 400 at Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, and three large
classes at Chautauqua. In face of these
frcts who can hesitate to apply to this
Memory Specialist for needed memory
improvement?

LAST year the Republicans had a ma.
jority in Belmont county over the Dem
ocratic state ticket of 327, and yet two
Democratic candidates, by coaxing and
begging for votes, and by corrupting
voters with whisky and other things
we're able to elect themselves to two of
the best Offices in the county, and to-day
they are using those offices and the mon
ey they get from them to th~art and
defeat the wishes of the Republicans
who put them in office. Neither of
them are to be compared in fitness to the
men they defeated.
Tnis is a state of affairs that is dis
couraging to Republicans, and if it is
not speedily ended no decent man will
be willing to accept nomination at the
bands of Republican conventions.

The Republican party Is the only por
litlcal organization that has shown any
disposition to regulate by Jaw the abuses
of the liquor traffic in Ohio. To every
fsir-miuded sdvoclte of temperance we
submit the question whether it is not
better to lend his aid to the party that
has shown a willingness to grapple with
this question. than to aid another or
ganization studiously hostile to regula-
ti0n and outspoken for free traffic. or to
unite himself with those who claim to
be contending for great principle but
belle their actions by openly denouucing
the only measures of temperance reform
that have ever been passed In the state.
The thousands of saloons that have been
closed under the Dow law are mute
witnesses of the pfii :icy Of regulation as
enacted by the Republicans.
